79 cases registered against unlawful conversion under the 2020 stringent law in Uttar Pradesh till July this year and charge sheets have been filed in 50 cases, according to a document submitted by the State government in the Allahabad High Court.

Of the 79 FIRs, investigation was pending in 22 cases, The Hindu reported, citing the saffron party-led government’s counter-affidavit in response to a bunch of PILs challenging the Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act 2021 (earlier ordinance 2020).

Final report was filed in seven cases.

The law was passed by the Yogi Adityanath-led State cabinet last November and sources say that more than 100 Muslims including scholars and religious leaders were arbitrarily arrested by UP police under the new draconian law till now.

Out of the 79 FIRs lodged till July 7, most were registered in Bareilly region 21, followed by Meerut Zone 15, Gorakhpur 12, Agra seven, and Prayagraj five, the newspaper reported.

The new draconian law mainly envisages that no person shall convert, either directly or indirectly from one religion to another by use or practice of misrepresentation, force, undue influence, coercion, allurement or by any fraudulent means or by marriage nor shall any person abet, convince or conspire such conversion. The law is seen as giving legal teeth to the BJP’s anti-Muslim campaign against the so-called ‘love jihad‘.
